Gibdo Mask: Link obtains this mummy mask by removing a mummification curse from an unfortunate supernatural researcher. When Link wears these wraps, other mummies think he is one of them and are willing to speak with him. Along with chatting with Gibdos, Link can also avoid being attacked by the undead when wearing this mask. 

Valentine Desjardins is known as a courageous hero to some, an unscrupulous scoundrel to others, and is most truly a bit of both. Hot on the trail of a missing archeologist, Valentine Desjardins had to find a way inside of a guarded research laboratory. By disguising themself as a mummy inside a sarcophagus made by a gifted forger, the guards brought Desjardins into the most secure section of the facility where the missing archeologist, along with many priceless relics, were stored.

Kafei’s Mask: This mask is given to Link upon accepting the quest to find her missing son Kafei. This mask was hand carved in the image of the missing boy. If Link talks to citizens of Clock Town with the mask on they comment on Kafei’s disappearance and provide leads for Link to track down.

Duels may be terribly out of fashion these days but they are still technically legal as long as the correct protocols are followed. It was at one of those such duels where the master of the house acquired the wig of a barrister who was made to choose between their dignity and their life. As these specific wigs are only given to lawyers upon obtaining their license this is a novel keepsake.

Don Gero’s Mask: Link earns this mask by lighting all the torches in the Goron Shrine. A Goron will thank Link for the help illuminating the shrine by giving him a mask that allows Link to speak with frogs. While not a universally useful mask, Link needs this mask to tell frogs that the long winter is over, and the choir is reconvening. If Link can get the whole band back together, he is rewarded with a Piece of Heart.

The many adventures of Hoppy the friendly toad are moral tales written to teach children lessons like always look both ways before crossing the road and never pick up the unholy idol you found in a secret chamber in the basement. Hoppy always know the right thing to do, but they are very easily influenced and are pushed to take the ill-advised action by their peers. In “Hoppy Finds the Pirate Treasure”, Hoppy and friends bumble their way through a heavily trapped pirate cave in search of the recently lost treasure of Diamond Beard.
